This exhibition considers the relationship between the aesthetics of kitsch and the role that commercial platforms such as Instagram and Etsy play in the critical reception of contemporary art. Using scratchboards and ceramics respectively, Hooge and McGiveron create works that visually resemble childhood narratives, presenting unusual creatures that are sweetly unnerving.
